  • Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Minority Group Entry Into the Building Trade Unions
    Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Minority Group Entry into the Building Trade Unions At a time when the high rate of black unemployment is a leading cause of racial unrest in our nation,1 the construction industry is ac- tually experiencing a shortage of skilled labor.2 Even with present union members working large amounts of overtime,3 demand still far exceeds supply.4 As a result, although productivity gains in recent years seem to have been minimal," wages have increased considerably both in absolute terms6 and in comparison with other industries3 Moreover, barring a major economic setback, this demand is not likely to diminish in the future.8 1 See R. KENNEDY, To SEEK A NEwER WORLD 34-35 (1968); NATIONAL ADVISORY COMm'N ON CiviL DisoRDERs, REPORT 413 (Bantam ed. 1968). 2 Garino, Home Builders Hobbled by Lack of Skilled Help as Well as Tight Money, Wall Street Journal, May 1, 1968, at 1; Jedlicka, Crafts Training Gets Push, Chicago Daily News, Aug. 2, 1968, at 12; Wicker, New Construction in Building Trades, Chicago Today, Oct. 3, 1969, at 25. 3 A May 1967 survey by John Fenlon, an economist for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, showed that 22.9% of all workers in the construction industry worked more than 41 hours a week. (This survey included union and nonunion, skilled and unskilled workers). Fenlon, Patterns in Overtime Hours and Premium Pay, MONTHLY LABOR REV., October 1969, at 42, 45. Estimates of how much the industry pays in overtime costs run as high as one billion dollars a year.

Most analyses of public radio listening examine the performance of individual stations within this large mix, the contributions of specific national programs, or aggregate numbers for the system as a whole. This report takes a different approach. Through an extensive, multi-year study of 228 stations that generate about 80% of public radio’s audience, we review patterns of listening to groups of stations categorized by the formats that they present. We find that stations that pursue different format strategies – news, classical, jazz, AAA, and the principal combinations of these – have experienced significantly different patterns of audience growth in recent years and important differences in key audience behaviors such as loyalty and time spent listening. This quantitative study complements qualitative research that the Station Resource Group, in partnership with Public Radio Program Directors, and others have pursued on the values and benefits listeners perceive in different formats and format combinations. Key findings of The Public Radio Format Study include: • In a time of relentless news cycles and a near abandonment of news by many commercial stations, public radio’s news and information stations have seen a 55% increase in their average audience from Spring 1999 to Fall 2004.

For centuries, it has linked the eastern and western regions of the Indian subcontinent, running from Bengal, across north India, into Peshawar, Pakistan. Horses, donkeys, and pedestrians compete with huge trucks, cars, motorcycles, rickshaws, and bicycles along the highway, a commercial route that is dotted with areas of activity right off the road: truck stops, farmer’s stands, bus stops, and all kinds of commercial activity.

  • Robert A. Franklin, Ph.D
    Robert A. Franklin, Ph.D. October 24, 2016 Human Resources Central Washington University Ellensburg, Washington Dear Sir/Madam: With this letter I am applying for the General Manager, KCWU Radio position at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, Washington. I begin with a brief history of my management and administrative experiences in public radio management. Prior to receiving my doctorate in Heritage Studies from Arkansas State University, I managed and supervised professional personnel and student staff at university radio stations in Mississippi, Illinois, Maryland and Nebraska. As Associate Professor at Jackson State University, I taught broadcasting courses in the Department of Mass Communications. I advised broadcast students; collaborated with faculty on departmental projects; and, developed a recruiting plan to increase student diversity in the Mass Communications Department at Jackson State University. During my tenure as Assistant Professor/Director of Media Operations- KVNO/UNO-Television at the University of Nebraska-Omaha, I managed, directed budget and supervised professional staff and taught in the School of Communication. Additionally, I collaborated with faculty and community organizations to develop design and implement a public outreach media campaign to support homeless youths. In 2008, I collaborated with colleagues and community leaders to spearhead a clothing drive in Omaha, Nebraska designed to collect and transport clothes to homeless Ethiopian youths living in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. The clothing drive involved participation of high school, college students, local businesses, state and elected officials in Omaha, Nebraska and Houston, Texas. I planned and initiated a highly visible community service initiative titled, “Children of Omaha Public Service Media Initiative,” winner of the Nebraska Broadcaster Award of Excellence in 2009.

  • 6 “THE BLACKS SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERING the PHILADELPHIA PLAN” Nixon, the Hard Hats, and “Voluntary” Affirmative Action
    6 “THE BLACKS SHOULD NOT BE ADMINISTERING THE PHILADELPHIA PLAN” Nixon, the Hard Hats, and “Voluntary” Affirmative Action Trevor Griffey The conventional history of the rise of affirmative action in the late 1960s and early 1970s tends toward a too simple dialectic. The early creation and extension of affirmative action law is often described as an extension of the civil rights movement, whereas organized opposition to affirmative action is described as something that occurred later, as a backlash or reaction that did not fully take hold until Ronald Reagan was elected president in 1980.1 In this chapter, I tell a different story. I describe the role that labor union resistance to affirmative action played in limiting the ability of the federal gov- ernment to enforce new civil rights laws well before the more overt backlash against affirmative action became ascendant in U.S. political culture in the 1980s and 1990s. There was no heyday for attempts by federal regulatory agencies to impose affirmative action on U.S. industry. There was no pristine origin against which a backlash could define itself, because enforcement of affirmative action had accommodated its opponents from the beginning. Affirmative action law emerged out of and in response to civil rights move- ment protests against the racism of federal construction contractors, whose discriminatory hiring policies were defended and often administered by the powerful building trades unions.2 But the resistance of those unions to the 1969 Revised Philadelphia Plan—the first government-imposed affirmative action plan—severely curtailed the ability of the federal government to enforce affirma- tive action in all industries.
